Question about FKS Brakes and the bending thereof

I just picked up some fks 120s the other day and need to bend them to fit my eps (oh boy) .i have seen the thread on tgr and all and think this is the best method to do it. i have also heard people say you can just slap the mounted ski in a vice with the boot in, heat the brakes up, and bend them like that. is the second method legit at all or should i just fuck it and do the first? also, does rossignol carry wider brakes for the fks series? i had heard somewhere on here that they do. finally, if i do bend them according to the tgr method, how hard would it be to do by my self? thanks alot

dont put the boot in and try to heat this can melt the ski just take them apart and do it correctly especially since ur bending so much and yes rossi does make wide brakes but only in a 100mm for the fks. hope that helps

and doing it yourself is very easy as long you have some idea what ur doing a pencial torch really helps the heating

Yes, this.
You should take them apart before bending them

they made a squad brake for them which was like 115 standard but good luck getting your hands on a pair....

mount them to a 2x4 and then heat them up with a torch, make sure to put a rag or something like that around the side of the binding to protect them from the heat. thats what i did

This is the easiest and most effective way. If you take them apart, you will want to kill yourself when the time comes to put them back together.

Sounds like a great way to ruin perfectly good bindings.
Its really not that hard to disassemble and reassemble them.
